On 12th January 2022, the Indonesian government updated their regulations for entry into Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Read the official regulations in Bahasa Indonesia here or an unofficial English translation here.
The key change is there is no longer a ‘Red List’ of countries that foreigners cannot travel from due to COVID-19. You can see which countries were affected by the previous regulation in this post.
As there is no longer a Red List, it is now possible for foreigners and Indonesian citizens to travel to Indonesia from any country. Those wanting to travel to Indonesia will need to do 5 days quarantine at a Government approved hotel. More details on who can travel to Indonesia are provided below.
To travel to Indonesia in 2022 you will need:
- To agree to comply with Indonesian health protocols
- Be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least 14 days prior to departure and have proof of vaccination in English as well as the language of the country of vaccination
- Have a negative PCR test done within 72 hours of departure
- Proof of quarantine hotel booking and payment
- Proof of health or travel insurance that is valid for COVID-19 treatment with at least USD 100,000 cover

- To be registered on the PeduliLindungi application
PCR testing while in Indonesia quarantine
- Upon arrival, travellers will take a PCR test on the first day of their quarantine
- Travellers will have to take a second PCR test on day 4 of their 5 day quarantine
As long as the test is negative, travellers can continue on their journey.
